Referrals & Resources

We know that most clients have a close relationship with their primary care veterinarian. Virginia Veterinary Specialists strives to work in conjunction with you in order to achieve the optimal care for your patients.

Optimal patient care entails communication between the client, veterinary specialist, and primary care veterinarian. If you think your patient would benefit from a consultation with a board certified specialist at Virginia Veterinary Specialists, give us a call and talk with one of our specialists about a possible referral.

Upon completion of the consultation, after any diagnostic measures or recovery from surgery, you will be sent a complete written report regarding the care and management of your patient and any follow up care that will be needed. We highly encourage you to call and discuss your patient’s case with us as we appreciate your partnership in providing excellent care.
